Geodesic makes
some software
development support tools (like Great
Circle) that look for memory leaks and such. We recently had very
good
success with this package at work, in fact we turned to it when Purify
consistently failed to work. If you are writing complex software that
is
programmed in multiple languages (ours uses C++, FORTRAN and JAVA) and
interacts with an object database (such as ObjectStore) this might be
worth
a try. I have used a similar tool from Rational
Software called Purify,
though over the years this has got harder and harder to run (probably
because
the program we are running it on has got bigger and bigger). GlowCode
also makes a package for code profiling and leak detection that sounds
promising, and it is a lot more reasonably priced than Purify and
GreatCiricle.
If you are doing development with Java, then OptimizeIt
is an excellent tool to have. This was written by VMGear
and later picked up by Borland.
This
Slashdot artical also includes some freeware
memory leak references, such as this
page which has further references.
